I was never able to get DMA to work with my printer... Note that the ppc manpage, and the LINT file, don't mention drq at all! And lptcontl -e didn't indicate any problems either - it just indicated 'polled' mode. Somebody should update the ppc manpage, at least...

You can do much better than that in ECP mode - I use it to transfer 2Mbit/sec video to a piece of custom hardware hung of the parallel por= t (standard drivers at the FreeBSD end), so I'm getting over 250KByte/se= c. However, the GENERIC kernel isn't configured for this - you need to ad= d the DRQ setting: device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 drq 3 and make sure that the BIOS is configured to match. After that, lptcontrol -e engages DMA-driven printing, with much greater speed and lower CPU utilisation. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.o= rg"
